I don't have a problem discussing religion with adherents of other religions. I have discussed Hindu religion with a co-worker, I have learned about Catholicism from 2 other co-workers and I have discussed Judaism with a Rabbi.

Now that's interesting. I would like to have a discussion with a rabbi. I never did that. Catholicism doesn't interest me. I was born and raised one. I am tired of it. Islam is interesting to me because it is such a great religion and Muhammad was blessed by God through Ishmael and it is part of the Abrahamic faith.

I can't say that I disagree with you here. Muslims follow Muhammad (saaws) as an act of obedience to Allah (swt) and I assume that you follow Jesus (as) for the same reason.

Yes, doesn't it say in the Quran or somewhere to obey Muhammad is to obey Allah?

Hey, it seems you have learned something.:statisfie
Quran 49:14 The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say: You believe not, but rather say "We submit," for the faith has not yet entered into your hearts. Yet, if ye obey Allah and His messenger, He will not withhold from you anything of (the reward of) your deeds. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Note that this verse illustrates the difference between a Muslim (one who submits to the will of Allah) and a Mumin (one who has faith in his heart). We obey Muhammad or follow his Sunnah because he was the Messenger of Allah who came to show us how to worship Allah and how to live our lives according to the will of Allah. We love him because of his noble character and because of the hardships he endured to establish Islam as the Straight Way that leads to Paradise.

Quran 3:31 Say, (O Muhammad, to mankind): If you love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

"I see" said the blind man to his deaf wife. It is like that for Christians believing Paul and following Paul
:hmm:
 
:sl:

I'd like to talk to a rabbi myself. I've had discussions with Muslims and Christians, but have never really talked to any Jews. I have read the Bible and the Qur'an, but not the Torah.

One of these days I'd like to complete the Triumvirute of Monotheism...
